📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, over medium heat, add the sugar, water, cream of tartar, salt and lemon juice.
2
Once the sugar dissolves, turn down the heat and let the syrup simmer steadily until it reduces significantly and becomes a thick syrup that drips off your spatula slowly. This will take roughly 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes. You can test if it's ready by putting a drop on a cold plate and placing it back in the fridge for ⏱️ 10 minutes. If it is really thick once it's cold then it is ready. To be even more exact, you want it to reaches 230°F (110°C) on a candy thermometer.
3
Remove from the heat and put the pot in a bowl of cold water to cool it down quickly. Once the syrup cools down completely use as directed in your recipe.
4
You will end up with roughly 1 1/3 cups (14oz/398g) of corn syrup substitute. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 months.
